BDS movement cheers Ben & Jerry’s for taking stand against ‘apartheid Israel’

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement applauds Ben & Jerry’s decision to stop sales in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as “a decisive step towards ending the company’s complicity in Israel’s occupation and violations of Palestinian rights,” but calls upon the company to do more.

“We hope that Ben & Jerry’s has understood that, in harmony with its social justice commitments, there can be no business as usual with apartheid Israel,” a statement reads.
